Laurent:

No need for the near-apology, when you show us this new acquisition . . . it's a great looking design, that evokes the spirit of the 1970's. Good fun to imagine how the man who bought this one "back in the day" would have felt, showing it off to his friends and enthusiasts. It must have been a stunner back then, and it remains so, to this day.

Enjoy this one . . . wear it proudly and unapologetically . . . as the racers wore this one back in the glory days!!

: To me, this Chronosplit is a real vintage Heuer in its own right
